What is recorded here
Marked only on the 1926 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as Clogh na gCrann, it is more correctly called 'Cloch na gCeann'. Originally situated at the E side of a road (WA003-045001-) towards the top of a S-facing slope. This is a sandstone boulder (dims. c. 1m x 1m x 1m) on which it is believed the heads of executed criminals were once displayed. It is now on the W side of the W road bank, c. 30m distant from its original location.
